General Bruce C. Clarke (1901¿88) dropped out of high school to enlist in the army during World War I. Eventually appointed to West Point through the New York National Guard, he later earned an engineering degree from Cornell and a law degree from LaSalle. As a colonel and then brigadier general in World War II, Clarke commanded an armored combat regiment under Patton, most famously leading the relief of St. Vith at the Battle of the Bulge in what Eisenhower called a turning point of the battle. He held various commands over the next twenty years, including corps command in Korea and ending as U.S. commander-in-chief in Europe during the Berlin Crisis. During his forty-five-year uniformed career from World War I into the Cold War, Clarke held ranks from private to four-star general and earned the Distinguished Service Cross, three Distinguished Service Medals, three Silver Stars, and three Bronze Stars. An outstanding combat commander, he was also known as the most effective trainer of the modern army. He wrote Guidelines for the Leader and Commander as the capstone to his long career.
